You're gonna give your love to me

My love's bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it but you drive me back
Your love for me has gotta be real
For you to know just how I feel
And not fade away, not fade away
Not fade away

I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be

You're gonna give your love to me
                            A
I wanna love you night and day

Love is love, and not fade away
Love is love, and not fade away
Not fade away, it won't fade away
